A lot of people wet their pants when they heard the eShop (worst name ever) would not be ready for the 3DS launch in Japan or America. I know I wet my pants and it was super embarrassing because I was riding public transport when I found out. I’ve driven 300km to a small fishing community to do some soul searching on the whole issue. Last night I found myself at the local watering hole, and over a pint I told a local about the problem and why I had to escape the city. The 47 year old enstranged father of 3 tells me “Fucken who cares? The iPhone didn’t have an App Store at release in America either.” I nodded and we went our separate ways.
It’s all going to be ok. 🙂

Sounds like a true local, wise with a great perspective.
It actually will be out on day 1 for 3DS, you’ll just have to download it instead of being pre-installed in the system. So people without the internet wont be able to download games! What an oversight!

It makes sense, too, when you realize Ninty can tinker with the online store all the way up to the 3DS release to make sure it’s as bug-free as possible…

Australia sounds like a beautiful place….except….I wonder if the games on the eShop will also have an arbitrary 100% markup?

Just bringing attention to RAB’s stunningly restored 2007 E3 Prediction in case everyone (pretty much) missed it.
Man, this takes me way back.
